After another bloody weekend in Chicago, Mayor Rahm Emanuel branded the
shootings unacceptable and the city’s top cop demanded more gun control
laws. Chicago’s murder rate has actually dropped since concealed carry
became legal. Emanuel’s lawsuits over his illegal gun control laws have
left the already struggling city deep in the hole and forced to cover
the NRA’s million dollars in legal bills.

Concealed
carry paid off over that bloody weekend when a vet carrying a gun
returned fire stopping a massacre before it happened. The original
shooter ended up in the hospital, but nobody ended up in the morgue,
which kept the death toll for the weekend down to fourteen.

The Aug. 9 fatal shooting here that sparked three months of protests
and calls for change from around the world happened in less than 90
seconds, interviews and an analysis of police and EMS records shows.

The records, obtained by the Post-Dispatch via Missouri’s Sunshine
law, provide the best timeline yet for the events surrounding the
shooting of Michael Brown Jr., 18. Also released were police station
surveillance videos that provide the most recent images of Ferguson
Police Officer Darren Wilson, who has not been seen publicly since the
shooting. Wilson left the police station for the hospital two hours
after the shooting, accompanied by other officers and his union lawyer.

“Our nation is far from what it was and what it should be,” the letter
states, according to the court papers. “There is so much wrong and on so
many levels only passing through the crucible of another revolution can
get us back the liberties we once had.”

In this current series I have been working on one of my main
contentions has been that the so-called Constitutional checks and
balances between the different branches of the government has not ever
really worked the way it was supposed to or that we have been told it
did.

In my last article I noted the situation in regard to the illegal
immigrants in this country and how the head of the current Marxist
Regime plans an end run around Congress so he can take “executive
action” to make most of them “legal” with nothing more than the swirl
of his mighty pen. Obama has no concept of how constitutional government
is supposed to work and, frankly, he couldn’t care less.

He will do as
he has been instructed to do regardless of whether it breaks the law or
not.

The tribes of Africa and were known for slavery and slave trading. When European’s arrived with goods, the enslaved brethren of the African tribes were offered in exchange, and taken for labor on New World plantations. The British colonial system populated North America with these slaves, being greatly assisted by New England slavers who grew rich from transporting human cargoes from Africa.

King Mussa’s Procession

“The first West African state of which there is any record was called Ghana. The people were farmers and traders and metal-smiths. Their capital city, Kumbi-Kumbi, was an important trading center during the Middle Ages. From the Arab countries came caravans of wheat and fruit and sugar and textiles and brass and salt.

They went back loaded down with rubber and ivory and gold and another product the Africans were able to turn out better and in greater quantity than any other people. As a matter of fact, they had monopoly. We refer to Negro slaves.

The next Negro kingdom of any consequence was called Melle and comprised roughly what is now French West Africa. It was ruled during the first thirty years of the 14th century by a free-wheeling fellow by the name of Gonga-Mussa.

A good Moslem, King Mussa made a pilgrimage to Mecca in the year 1324. He travelled in style. There were 60,000 people in his party, including 12,000 slaves. Five hundred men [were] marching at the head of the procession bearing staffs of pure gold. To finance the trip, King Mussa took along eighty camels loaded down with gold valued at more than $5,000,000.

“If you like your health-care plan, you can keep it,” Obama said numerous times when pitching the new law.

But by fall 2013, more than 4 million Americans were getting cancellation letters in their mailboxes.
As it turns out, Gruber, also an MIT economics professor, apparently
knew it would happen – reportedly comparing U.S. workers losing their
insurance to people “falling off a building.”

In a Nov. 13 piece for Time magazine,
reporter Kate Pickert wrote, “I’ve talked to Gruber many times over the
past six years. He’s a good source because he’s smart, candid and was
privy to the Democratic behind-the-scenes thinking and maneuvering that
preceded passage of the Affordable Care Act.”

"The hyper-politicization of justice issues has made it immeasurably
more difficult for police officers to simply do their jobs. The growing
divide between the police and the people – perhaps best characterized by
protesters in Ferguson, Mo., who angrily chanted, “It’s not black or
white. It’s blue!”

– only benefits of members of a political class
seeking to vilify law enforcement for other societal failures. This puts
our communities at greater risk, especially the most vulnerable among
us," Hosko wrote in the letter exclusively obtained by Townhall.
"Your attorney general, Eric Holder, is chief among the antagonists.
During his tenure as the head of the Department of Justice, Mr. Holder
claims to have investigated twice as many police and police departments
as any of his predecessors. Of course, this includes his ill-timed
decision to launch a full investigation into the Ferguson Police
Department at the height of racial tensions in that community, throwing
gasoline on a fire that was already burning. Many officers were
disgusted by such a transparent political maneuver at a time when
presidential and attorney general leadership could have calmed a truly
chaotic situation."

Russia’s television Channel One said on Friday it had a photo
presumably made by a foreign spy satellite in the last seconds of
Malaysia’s MH17 flight over Ukraine.

Channel One showed Ivan Andriyevsky, the first vice president of the
Russian Union of Engineers, demonstrating a photo sent by a George
Beatle, who had introduced himself as an air traffic controller with a
20-year working record.

At a dance for his unit, a U.S. Army officer sees two lesbian
subordinate officers engaged in a French-kissing “make-out” session
described by a witness as “full-blown … grabbing each other on the butt,
stuff like that.”

Mindful of regulations restricting public displays of affection, he tells the two women to tone it down.

Not wanting such behavior posted online, he waves off several people
making videos and pushes down one man’s camera, which bumps his nose.

The new military’s reaction? Convict the decorated officer of
violating the military’s policy welcoming openly homosexual members and
remove him from the service.

Presenting the new Sainsbury’s Christmas advert. Made in partnership
with The Royal British Legion. Inspired by real events from 100 years
ago.

This year’s Christmas ad from Sainsbury’s – Christmas is
for sharing. Made in partnership with The Royal British Legion, it
commemorates the extraordinary events of Christmas Day, 1914, when the
guns fell silent and two armies met in no-man’s land, sharing gifts –
and even playing football together.

The chocolate bar featured
in the ad is on sale now at Sainsbury’s. All profits (50p per bar) will
go to The Royal British Legion and will benefit our armed forces and
their families, past and present.

A stunning
set of photographs taken by famed African-American photographer Gordon
Parks during segregation in the 1950s are set to go on display later
this month.

The
collection, called The Restraints: Open and Hidden, follows the lives
of three families living in and around downtown Mobile, Alabama in 1956,
and show how they went about their daily routine in a town separated by
race with children at their side.

Rediscovered in 2012, six years after he died of cancer at the age of 93, these photos will be shown at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia beginning this Saturday.

Remembrance

Winners: Navy Cross Nguyen Van Kiet & MOH Thomas R. Norris This week’s Medal of Honor hero is one of a handful of Navy SEALs awarded the MOH in the Vietnam War. Norris snuck behind enemy lines with a South Vietnamese Navy petty officer rescued two downed pilots in 1972–when most of our resources had been pulled from the country. Interesting to note that later year, Norris was himself rescued by another SEAL Michael E. Thornton.More @ Medal of Honor Roll Call

==============================
My second great grandfather was killed in action on May 3, 1863 at the Battle of Chancellorsville.
=============================
My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.
===========================
*General Gordon promised the men a gold medal and 30 days leave if they accomplished their task and many years after the War my great grandfather wrote General Gordon, who was then governor of Georgia about this incident. They exchanged several letters which I have framed. See first link below.

Punished For Being Caught!

Great Grandfather Koonce

He was a drummer boy in the WBTS, survived the War only to die a few years later. He was caught in an ice storm on his way home, but instead of seeking shelter, continued on his horse until the end. His clothes had to be cut off and he died a few days later.
